T. Williams - SP

PIT

Pirates sent RHP Trevor Williams outright to Triple-A Indianapolis.

It seems highly unlikely that the 28-year-old hurler will ultimately accept the outright assignment, but there has been no word of his refusal and declaration of free agency just yet. Williams posted a troublesome 6.18 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 49/21 K/BB ratio while serving up a league-leading 15 long balls in 55 1/3 innings for the Pirates during the 2020 season.

T. Pham - LF

SD

Tommy Pham has sued San Diego area strip club Pacers Showgirls International after suffering "catastrophic injuries" as a result of being stabbed in the club's parking lot during an incident last month.

According to the lawsuit filed Tuesday, Pham said he was "trapped" inside the club as a result of a fight outside. Among other things, the suit alleges that the club's private security “escalated the risk” to Pham “by participating in the fight and antagonizing” the fight participants. Pham eventually left the club and was walking toward the valet stand when he was stabbed in the lower back “without any provocation,” according to the complaint. The injuries Pham suffered were non-life threatening, but the suit alleges he sustained “catastrophic injuries, which have and will continue to cause him significant economic damage." No arrests have been announced in connection with the stabbing. We don't have any other details on Pham's injuries or how they might affect his preparation for next season, but more information is sure to come out.

D. Straily - RP

FA

Craig Mish of Sportsgrid reports that "several" major league teams are interested in Dan Straily, including the Reds, Giants and Angels.

Straily had a disastrous run with the Orioles in 2019 but resurrected his career in Korea in 2020, posting a 2.50 ERA and 205/51 K/BB ratio over 194 2/3 innings for the Lotte Giants. It should allow him to return to the majors and join some team's rotation if he wants, although Mish says Straily is also considering remaining in Korea. He's expected to make a decision in the next week as to whether he'll stay overseas or return to the states.

J. Martin - CF

PIT

Jason Martin has elected free agency.

Martin cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the Pirates, but he'll look for a gig elsewhere rather than accept an outright assignment. The outfielder was part of the package sent from the Astros to the Pirates in the Gerrit Cole trade back in January of 2018.

Cy Sneed has signed with the Yakult Swallows of Japan’s Central League, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

Sneed spent parts of the last two seasons with the Astros but has found a better opportunity overseas. Houston now has an additional 40-man roster spot to play with.

C. Sneed - RP

HOU

Multiple reports state that free agent right-handed pitcher Cy Sneed is being pursued by the Tokyo Yakult Swallows.

This is the same club that signed former Pittsburgh Pirate Jose Osuna recently. Sneed, 28, appeared in 18 games with the Astros in 2020, and he registered a 5.71 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 21/10 K/BB ratio. He's been an up-and-down arm over the last couple of seasons, and a successful stint in Japan could help improve his stock going forward.

J. Osuna - 3B

PIT

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Jose Osuna has signed with the Tokyo Yakult Swallows.

The Pirates designated Osuna for assignment last week, and he's found a new home relatively quickly. The 27-year-old hit just .205/.244/.397 last year with four homers and a 16/4 K/BB ratio in 82 plate appearances. The year before, however, Osuna hit 10 homers with a .756 OPS in 95 games. If Osuna hits well in Japan, it certainly seems likely that he could be back in an MLB role in a year or two.

C. Martínez - SP

STL

Hector Gomez of Z101 Sports reports that prosecutor Osvaldo Bonilla will request a warrant against Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez.

The warrant comes after Martinez participated in a street party the previous weekend in the Dominican Republic. He will be charged with violating all the social distancing protocols and the mandatory use of masks at the gathering. A statement on Monday from the Cardinals acknowledged that they were "gathering details about his participation after a video surfaced that showed him riding a motorbike with a passenger through a crowd on on a seaside street. More information on the potential arrest should present itself in the coming days, but it's possible Martinez will face disciplinary action on top of any punishment he receives for the violation. Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post Dispatch tweets that the hurler is expected to pay fines, according to a representative.
